Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help achieve a crispy exterior on the chicken and perfectly roasted potatoes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Spread the seasoned baby potatoes in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Make sure they are cut side down for optimal crispiness.
- In the same mixing bowl, add the chicken thighs. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and additional garlic powder or rosemary if desired. Rub the seasonings into the chicken to ensure they are well coated.
- Place the seasoned chicken thighs on the sheet pan alongside the potatoes, skin side up. Ensure there is enough space between the chicken and potatoes for even cooking.
- Transfer the sheet pan to the preheated oven and roast for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are golden brown and tender.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the dish for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Once done, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices in the chicken to redistribute.
- Serve the crispy chicken thighs alongside the roasted baby potatoes, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your delicious and easy sheet pan meal!
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Always preheat your oven to 425°F to ensure a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
- Spacing Matters: Give your chicken and potatoes enough room on the sheet pan to prevent steaming and promote even browning.
- Skin-Side Up: Place chicken thighs skin-side up to help the skin render and become beautifully golden and crisp.
- Extra Crispiness Hack: For an ultra-crispy finish, broil the dish for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Rest Your Meat: Always let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness.
- Customize Your Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices like thyme, paprika, or Italian seasoning to make the recipe your own.
